BENEFITS OF ECP

PATIENTS WITH FOLLOWING CONDITIONS MAY BENEFIT FROM ECP/ EECP.

• • Patients with angina, angina equivalents
• • Unsuitable for surgical or catheter-based revascularization
• • Have co-morbid conditions that increase the risk of revascularization procedures (diabetes, heart failure, pulmonary disease, renal dysfunction)
• • With narrowed or diffused vessel disease
• • No longer respond to medical therapy
• • Done PTA/ CABG in the past but the symptoms re-occurring
• • Unwilling to undergo invasive procedures
• • Diabetic patients who have small vessel disease known to be a greater risk for post- procedural complications
• • Elderly patients at high risk for morbidity and mortality associated with invasive coronary interventions
• • Heart Failure patients who have ischemic or idiopathic cardiomyopathy
• • Heart failure patients with LV Ejection<40%

Non Cardiac Conditions:

Clinical studies indicate that ECP / EECP is truly an unparalleled- unavoidable futuristic modality which can treat many diseases beyond ischemic Heart Disease (IHD), Many other ischemic diseases such as ischemia in brain, eyes, ears, renal et al. ECP / EECP may benefit in the following conditions:

Cerebral Vascular Diseases:

Cerebral arteriosclerosis, Transient ischemic attack (TIA), Cerebral thrombosis (atherosclerotic infarct of brain), Cerebral infarction (include lacunar infarction), Vertebrobasilar ischemia (include vertebral artery type spondylopathy), Vertiginous syndrome (encephalo and dero), Pediatric cerebral palsy, Senile dementia, Vascular dementia, Parkinson’s syndrome (caused by insufficiency of blood supply), Cerebral Arteries Embolism, Cerebrovascular Accident Sequelae.

Eye Diseases like:

Embolism of central retinal artery (early period), Central serous retinopathy, Ischemic optic neuropathy, and ischemic optic atrophy (include traumatic optic atrophy)

Ear Disease like:

Optic atrophy

Peripheral vascular diseases like:

Vascular occlusion caused by angiosclerosis, Thromboangiitis obliterans (Burgers’ disease) or accompanied by deep lacerate. Peripheral circulation dysthymia. Digestive System Diseases like: Digestive system ulcer and viral hepatitis.

Ischemia like:

Chronic renal insufficiency, Convalescence of Viral myocarditis cranio-cerebral trauma and operation, Convalescence of traumatic paraplegia, Convalescence of hepatitis Convalescence of ischemia disease caused by other insufficiency of blood supply, Postoperative recovery of limbs, Memory decrease, insomnia, lethargy caused by old age.

• • Allaying tiredness like exertional disease and mental fatigue
• • Chronic renal failure of vascular origin
• • Erectile Dysfunction
• • General wellness, Anti-aging and Rejuvenation
• • Sports performance
• • ECP/ EECP,in short, can be used to treat all ischemic vascular diseases where lack of oxygenated blood supply is the root cause

CONTRAINDICATION:

• • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (surgical size (surgical size AAA >5cm)
• • Active Deep vein Thrombophlebitis on any limb affected by treatment
• • Aortic Insufficiency (moderate to severe A.I. may exacerbate regurgitation)
• • Peripheral Vascular Disease involving occlusion of the iliofemoral artery
• • Recent Surgery or intervention within the last & weeks
• • Presence of severe Peripheral Vascular (artery) Disease
• • Presence of an abdominal aneurysm (depending on size)
• • Severe High blood pressure
• • Severe Congestive heart failure
• • Anatomy prone to clotting
• • Deep vein thrombosis
• • Uncontrolled Atrial Fibrillation
• • Uncontrolled arrhythmias
• • Tachycardia>110 8 pm
• • Uncontrolled Blood Pressure (Systolic >180, Diastolic >110)
• • Patients undergoing anti-coagulation Therapy (Coumadin or Heparin) with PT>15 D Severe pulmonary disease (safety data on severe pulmonary HTN unavailable)
• • Local infection or Vacuities of the extremities
• • Burn, wound or fracture on any limb subject to treatment
• • Pregnancy

10 Reasons to Provide ECP/ EECP:

1. Safe, Non Invasive, Clinically Effective treatment for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Ischemic Heart Failure (CHF), Stroke, Diabetes and other angiology based diseases.
2. If you are a cardiac surgeon or interventional cardiologist, it allows you to offer:
   • Sophisticated and effective post-operative rehabilitation.
   • Helps to treat heart failure patients more effectively.
   • Alternate tool to treat ‘UNFIT’ patients who are not idle candidates for surgical/ interventional procedures.
   • Helps to retain the patients who does not wants to be operated.
   • Supplementary source of treatment as well as income without over-lapsing with the interest of your core surgical/ interventional practice.
   • Helps to treat patients with smaller vessel disease or diffused vessel diseases
3. If you are a physician or general practitioner, it helps you to offer specialty service to the needy patients, Additional income source.
4. ECP/ EECP does not require any additional special training (apart from standard applications training ) and it is simple to operate
5. Increasing perfusion (circulation) to every vital organ in the body results in great clinical benefits in patients
6. Symptom relief of chest pain, shortness or breath, fatigue, improvement in overall quality of life for your patients
7. Reduce or often eliminate need for Nitrates & other medications
8. Good profits, Highly safety (as good as PTCA & CABG)
9. No Physician time required during the treatment
10. Most office staff capable of operating / delivery effective therapy

You / your facility shall stand ahead in providing a new lease of lige to those NO OPTION patients whose physical condition which is not operable or at high post-operative risk or THOSE WHO DONOT WANT TO UNDERGO SURGICAL INTERVENTIONS. Such patients are significant in numbers who opt to go for alternative options. ECP / EECP shall help you to retain them.

Studies indicate that ECP increases myocardial perfusion by 20-42%,. Cerebral vascular flow by 20-26% and renal flow by 18-20%More than 200 trails worldwide and several peer journals are published.
